  China Airlines wins SkyTeam award for SAF transformation - News & announcements

  Taiwan’s China Airlines has been recognised at the 4th SkyTeam Aviation Challenge (TAC). It won the ‘Organizational Transformation Award – Transformational Impact through SAF’ with its first-ever demonstration flight in Taiwan using a 40% blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The award also acknowledged contributions to the transformation of local and international organisations and industry value chains. CAL was also shortlisted for the Pioneer of The Year and Team of The Year awards. More than 80 flights from 22 airlines around the world took part in the SkyTeam TAC this year making it the largest challenge so far. The event focused on sustainable initiatives such as route optimisation, maintenance improvement, weight reduction, and SAF applications. TAC’s goal is to encourage airlines to share best practices and jointly promote greener aviation. The China Airlines demonstration flights were between Taoyuan and Bangkok operated by the A350-900. For the outbound flight from Taiwan, China Airlines partnered with CPC Corporation, Taiwan (CPC) to promote local SAF. For the return flight, SAF was purchased from PTTOR, the Thai fuel supplier. Michelin Green Star plant-based meals and a variety of eco-friendly in-flight amenities were introduced too. CAL was also honoured by the Sustainable Development Award by the Taiwan Civil Aviation Administration, MOTC (CAA) for its use of SAF from Kaohsiung to Bangkok and from Songshan to Haneda in April 2025. The flights set a new record for SAF use by a Taiwan-based carrier in the Taiwan SAF pilot trial. The Taoyuan International Airport Corporation also presented China Airlines with an award of excellence in the corporate category in its 2025 Airport Partner Sustainability Action Competition. The airline says it will continue cross-industry collaboration with industry, government, and academia to help push Taiwan’s airline industry toward a net-zero future.
